... So wouldn't that make this a great time to do it? When we have everyone's resources/knowledge? Although not scientific by any means, it might also show a bit about procedures.
It takes some serious yeast management, temp control, nutrients and recipe tweaking to make a very tasty beer north of 10%.
I get that, but I'm not envisioning super high ABV for the wee heavy, maybe 8-10%. Getting to 12% is a bit more of hurdle. With the brew date set in or around December the difficult thing people might have to deal with are clean water and proper amount of yeast. I figure with the colder weather in December fermentation temp can be controlled by heating the fermentor at low to mid 60s in a garage with an aquarium heater. That should prove easier than keeping a beer cool in summer temps for most.
I await the Wee Heavy recipe formulation thread. :rockin:
Same here!
You guys waiting for me to start the thread?
